FTM Notes

Well, if you intend to use FTM there are literally hundreds of those
kind of tricks that you'll need to learn. I recommend that you look
through the archives, or better still, join an FTM mail group. There
used to be a good one back when Paul Burchfield was working for FTM,
it may be still active.

Can I make a gedcom of my large family tree file without including all my
notes. I would gladly give my Gedcom file away to relatives but some of the
notes are a bit personal. The file is too large to go through and manually
delete the notes.
Cheers

My copy of FTM is several years old, but if it still works the way it
used to, here's the way to get what you want.

FTM (version 8) doesn't allow you to specify what to include in a
GEDCOM you generate, so generate your gEDCOM with the notes included.

Then open a new (blank) file in FTM, and import that same GEDCOM.
However, on IMPORT FTM does allow you to elect not to include the
notes, so import the file without importing the notes.

Then from this FTM file, generate a new GEDCOM and it will be what you
wanted originally, your data without the notes.
